Hi,

Is de-duplication in ZFS an active project?  If so, can somebody share details
about how it''s going to be implemented?

Thanks.

Great question. I''ve been wondering this myself over the past few  
weeks, as de-dup is becoming more popular a term in our IT department.

It''d be a really nice feature. Combined with baked-in replication it
would be a nice alternative to our DD appliances.
